8. Nondual Lovemaking
As you make love, you focus on yourself and your lover as equal and existing nondually with
each other, letting go of any sense of separateness. As your bliss intensifies, all physical
boundaries of self and other are released, and the nondual awareness of Mahāmudrā dawns.
Nondual Lovemaking (Advaya Maithuna Karmamudrā) is the method of Sahajayoginīcintā. A
key quality in this practice is equipoise (samāpatti). Neither the man nor the woman may
dominate, nor can the other be submissive. All your actions and powers of awareness must be of
equal flavor and one taste.
9. Melting into a Moon Disk
For the method of Vitapāda, Melting into Moon Disk (Candra Anubheda Karmamudrā), while in
sexual embrace with your lover, knowing yourselves as god and goddess, you imagine in
between the two of you three vertical seed syllables radiating light: a white oṃ, a red āḥ, and a
blue hūṃ. In intervals between these three are two red ho seed syllables. As you make love, the
man visualizes these five seed syllables entering his mouth, passing down to his vajra, and into
the yoni of the woman. In her yoni, the seed syllables melt into blazing red light. You and your
lover then melt into a horizontal white Moon disk of white seminal fluid, the pure bliss of
nirvāṇa. Motivated by great love and compassion, you return to the forms of the deity and
consort in sexual embrace. Upon returning to form, you recite a mantra together: oṃ
dharmadhātu svabhavātmāko ’ham “I am the intrinsic nature of the Dharmādhatu.”
10. Crest Jewel of the Bindu
In Crest Jewel of the Bindu (Bindu Cūḍāmaṇir Karmamudrā), the method of Sahajāvalokana, the
couple begins sitting across from each other but not in sexual union. The woman generates an
image of the female deity as a red bindu from a seed syllable at her navel, then moves the deitybindu
up and down her central channel, finally resting it at the tip of her Maṇi Cakra (cervix).
The man simultaneously generates the male deity as a white bindu from a seed syllable at his
navel, moves the deity-bindu up and down his central channel, and down to the tip of his Vajra.
The practitioners then unite sexually, uniting the two deities in lovemaking as well. The couple
generates sexual passion while maintaining the visualization of the deities in sexual union.
Intermediate Methods
11. Great Worship
In the method called Great Worship (Mahāpūjā Karmamudrā), you and your lover visualize
mantras in your sexual organs as you make love. The Tibetan yogi Milarepa provides guidance:
“In your secret wisdom lotus lies the red seed syllable vaṃ. The male gem is like a blue seed
syllable hūṃ; and, when combined with the white seed syllable pad, fixes the bindu well. When
wisdom and method join together, the bliss of two-in-one becomes the best offering.” The man
